la quebrada is this place in Acapulco where there is a giant cliff and people dive in the ocean from the cliff. The sea water enters and exits the cliff and when it entered the cliff the water was very shallow. This is a life or death, and so my mom freaked out. I was in a bad mood before and didn’t want to come, but it was all worth at the end. Oh yeah, no one died/everyone survived. The divers also gave Ari lessons so that he could be a diver when he grows up. OK, just kidding. But we did get to meet all of the divers. Here are some videos and pictures below.

The Panini sticker album is this thing where you get an album with all the Soccer players that are playing in the world cup and you collect stickers. you need more than 600 stickers to complete it and its super hard, and the only way to finish it is by trading with other people because the more you have the less likely you are to find the missing players.

it all started at the Q2 stadium when they gave us free sticker albums, and we went to like 10 different stores just to find more stickers. we also kept getting letters with stickers from my uncle Jacobo.

Me and my brother Ari worked really hard and woke up at 6 A.M to work on it.

we traded with people 3 times, the firsdt time we traded with this columbian kid In a place called meanwhile brewery and got like 50 stickers. then we went to Rudy’s. there were a lot of people an d Ari was good at getting free stickers. we got about 50 more stickers there. the last one we had 24 stickers left and my dad thought we would not finish. it was the craziest one because it was in a Brazilian shop and everyone were Brazilian. we somehow gave someone 50 stickers. at the end we got our 24 stickers and completed the album. and when we got our last sticker everyone clapped for us. my dad even said that getting 10 was just luck and we completed the album.

in febuary 2022, i went to barcelona spain with my dad, grandpa, cousin, and 2 of my uncles. this post has chapters like the cyj one.

Chapter 1: espanyol vs sevilla: one febuary, I flew fro austin to barcelona overnight from 4:00 PM to like 7:00 AM (without sleeping at all), then we went straight to watch a soccer game cuz we could. the game ended up 1-1 and the teams were pretty good, so it was really exciting even though there were only 2 goals.

CHAPTER 1: THE SCREAMER the screamer is this giant swing thingy wheere you go like 250 ft. in the air. There is a rope that the other poeple that are going on the screamer need to pull so that you can go up. the first drop feels like a bird carried you and accidently droped you. like it was INSANE.

CHAPTER 2: LOST ok, this like the main thing that happened to me in camp, once upon a day in cyj, I was having free time.

I am a BIG fan of thrill rides ( including rollercoasters and waterslides) . i’ve been on like 20 thrill rides and 15 rollercoasters and 10 waterslides. i’ve always wanted to go on every rollercoaster and every thill ride and every waterslide. if your scared of rollercoasters i was to, but i faced my fears, went on one ( that was pretty thrilling) and loved it.

i’ve been playing soccer for many years. every time i see (real) grass, i wanna play soccer. i’ve been playing against my dad (who’s good). every time i play him i get closer to winning, and now i can beat him. when i grow up i will be a soccer player.

when i was little, i played in i9 soccer. i played for a pretty long time there, then, i moved on to lonestar sc, i also once played in barça academy.

star wars is my favorite movie (and my dads). i’ve watched episode 1 through 9, rouge 1, solo, the mandalorian, half of clone wars, and obi-wan kenobi. if you haven’t watched any of the you should.

the Q2 stadium is the austin fc home stadium. i go there almost every game austin fc plays there. if you ever go there you should get the popcorn.it is very fun watching the games and celebrating the wins and goals austin fc makes.

i play many board games and card games.i play monopoly life, domino uno, war, backgammon, and more. for me board games are very fun but my brother does not.
